Dr. Wei-Chyung Wang
(March 13, 2008)
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Dr. Wei-Chyung Wang is Professor of Applied Sciences at State University of New York at Albany
(SUNYA). Since September 1989, he has been the head of the Climate System Sciences Section of the
Atmospheric Sciences Research Center at SUNYA. Prior to that time, he was Vice President for Research at
Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Prof. Wang received his B.S.
from National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan in 1965; his M.S. from the State University of New
York at Buffalo in 1970; and his Doctor of Engineering Sciences from Columbia University in New York City
in 1973. All three degrees were in mechanical engineering.
Professor Wang has broad background in atmospheric radiation, and climate modeling and data analysis. His
research focuses on the global and regional climate changes due to increases of atmospheric greenhouse gases
and aerosols associated with human activities. Prof. Wang has been developing global and regional climate
models for understanding the physical and chemical processes concerning the greenhouse effect and changes
of atmospheric ozone, and for assessing future regional climate changes. He is also engaged in research of
evaluating the effect and impact of climatic changes on social and economic activities and policy implication.
Prof. Wang has over 130 publications in more than twenty (20) refereed journals including Science and
Nature. His research has been funded by U.S. federal agencies, FAA, DOD, NASA, DOE, and NSF, and by
private industry, Electric Power Research Institute and Chemical Manufacturers Association. In addition to
conducting climate change research, Professor Wang teaches graduate courses and is active in graduate
education related to global change. He has been a mentor of graduate students in four SUNYA academic
departments, the Atmospheric Sciences, Biology, Physics, and Political Sciences.
On the research significance, Professor Wang has made two unique contributions. He was the first to publish
in a 1976 issue of Science an article identifying CH4 and N2O as important greenhouse gases, and in 1980 in
Nature and J. Atmospheric Sciences articles indicating the important climatic effect of ozone changes in the
upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. On the “radiation sciences”, in early 1970s, Professor Wang
contributed significantly to the development of the “correlated k-distribution” method, which provides a
theoretical framework in treating the coupled gaseous (water vapor, ozone, carbon dioxide) absorptions and
emissions, and aerosol/cloud multiple-scattering medium. This method has been widely used in calculating
the radiative forcing involving aerosols and clouds in climate change studies.
On the international level, he has been participating in the United Nations sponsored environmental studies
such as the World Meteorological Organization's Ozone Assessment and the United Nations Environmental
Program’s Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Changes. He has organized numerous international
workshops focusing on the issues related to climate changes over East Asia, atmospheric ozone changes and
increases of greenhouse gases. Professor Wang has contributed significantly to the scientific exchanges
between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. Since 1987, he has been serving as the U.S.
Chief Scientist for a joint agreement on “Climate Sciences” between the U. S. Department of Energy and the
PRC Ministry of Sciences and Technology with focus on the reconstruction and model simulation of climate
over East Asia in the past 2,000 years, and development of field measurement programs to understand the
aerosol indirect effect, and the improving modeling capability for predicting regional climate and future
climate changes.
